36th yrs ago today at the École Polytechnique in Montreal 14 young female engineering students were killed because they were female. We must never forget & work to prevent violence against women. #Canada #cdnhistory #women en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89c...
And my grandfather George was among them. He was an engineer. Upon landing, his landing craft was destroyed. He and 3 others survived the attack. He ALONE survived the war.
